HVNNSW Online Discussion Forum

Welcome to our online discussion forum.

The forum has been set up to encourage ongoing discussion regarding the voice hearing experience and associated issues.

The forum initially has three sections:

As the HVNNSW Group Guidelines clearly denote:

• These are not clinical groups offering treatment, they are self-help groups.
• They make no assumption on illness.
• They are self-help groups not therapy groups.
• Members are not subject to referral, discharge or risk assessment.

In addition:

HVNNSW its committee and members will not:

• Offer opinion or advice to members regarding medications prescribed by their mental health professional.
• Offer opinion or advice to members regarding issues such as substance abuse or use of drugs.
• Offer opinion or advice about the merits, or otherwise, of clinical, therapy groups and any form of mental health treatment a HV member may be receiving.

Notwithstanding the above, HVNNSW reserves the right to express opinion, as long as it is on an informed basis, and will support contrary views, if such view is supported by undeniable facts, which can be substantiated.
